If you have herpes 3 months prior to getting pregnant, you body has developed antibodies and it is less likely that you would pass it to the fetus. If you get infected while pregnant you could pass it to the fetus.
It is important if you have herpes that you let your doctor know. Herpes is typically transferred to the baby during labor through the birth canal. If you have an outbreak during labor they will do a C-Section.
If herpes is contracted at birth it can lead to complications like brain damage, blindness, deafnes and in sever cases even death.
You can still have a natural birth and safe pregnancy. Most doctors like to prescribe an aniviral medication (some are safe to take during pregnancy) to take a few weeks before the due date to help prevent outbreaks so the mother can lower the risk of passing herpes to the baby. If the mother doesn't want to take any risks of passing herpes on then she could have a c-section, which will completely eliminate the risk of herpes being passed on.
If the mother has it it will affect her in a way that she will have a c-section to prevent the baby from getting it through labor. The baby can not getting it inside the womb but it can happen on the way out.
Nothing should happen, but you should be monitored and tested if yo do get a break out. There are safe treatments you can take to help manage it. Herpes isn't passed from parent to child while it's in the womb. If you do contract it, you can even still give birth naturally if there are no signs of a break out.
If you contract herpes a just before you got pregnant then you can have complications or even a miscarriage.
